Craftsman 11576 Manual De Usuario

9 - English

When servicing, use only identical 

Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other part 
may create a hazard or cause product damage.

WARNING: 

Always wear eye protection with side 

shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to 
do so could result in objects being thrown into your 
eyes resulting in possible serious injury.

WARNING: 

To avoid serious personal injury, always 

remove the battery pack from the tool when cleaning 
or performing any maintenance. 

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most 
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of 
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. 
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING: 

Do not at any time let brake fluids, 

gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating 
oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemi-
cals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which 
may result in serious personal injury.

Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be  
repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts 
should be replaced at a Sears Service Center.

WARNING: 

Upon removal, cover the battery pack’s 

terminals with heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not 
attempt to destroy or disassemble battery pack or 
remove any of its components. Nickel-cadmium 
batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. 
Also, never touch both terminals with metal objects 
and/or body parts as short circuit may result. Keep 
away from children. Failure to comply with these 
warnings could result in fire and/or serious injury.

WARNING: 

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities 

contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these 
chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure 
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust 
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
